Monday Highlight

Published by Sula H.

I’m back! That is, I’ve been back for a while, but I finally made it back to posting again, and as always in the beginning of a month, there is a lot to share. SSD has a new portfolio out with a new set of great challenges for this month, so you might want to check that out, if you haven’t yet. You can do that here. A new month at The Daily Digi has started as well with a bag full of products that I’m sure are worth this deal! And since it’s Monday, I’d better start off showing you another great product that I’ve fallen in love with, and that is Jenn Barrette’s “Feet in the Sand.” It’s summer, after all, and many of us are still on vacation, which means traveling, fun at the beach, enjoying life. Feet in the Sand by Jenn Barrette “Feet in the Sand” is perfect for scrapping all those beach memories, and it comes with a full load of beautifully designed papers and elements. What I especially …

End of the Year Banquet

Published by Sula H.

This is it! Another year of school has come and gone. The foreign faculty celebrated this with our annual “end of the year banquet.” This year’s motto: “A Night with the Oscars.” Sounds exciting?

May 1. (Labor Day)  is one of the more important holidays in China. Students get an extra day off school, so many students return home for a short vacation, and generally, many people use the extra holiday to travel.

Tomb Sweeping Holiday

Published by Sula H.

It’s a holiday here in China, and that means no classes today and tomorrow – as the school officially closes for a short vacation. Of course, students (and teachers alike) had to go to class on Saturday to make up for today’s classes, but at least that gives everyone three days in a row without school. The traditional Tomb Sweeping Day (where a large proportion of Chinese worships their ancestors) will take place tomorrow, and it usually is a pretty big deal locally, since our town is considered one of the cradles of Chinese civilization.
